Kyle Walker has split from his wife Annie Kilner after it was revealed he had a second child with Lauryn Goodman.
But the athlete appeared to send a very clear message to his partner of 13 years on Monday evening as he rocked his wedding ring in a series of Instagram pictures.
Kyle was at the Best FIFA Football Awards, where he took his eldest son Roman, 11, with him as he left the excitement surrounding his personal life behind him.
He kept his ring finger in his pocket as he walked the green carpet with his firstborn, but it was a different story on social media.
Kyle's wedding ring was seen just two years after his and Annie's wedding. The couple share two other sons, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five, and Annie is said to be six months pregnant.

The athlete publicly apologized to Annie for his infidelity after she split from him when it was revealed he had fathered a second love child with Lauryn Goodman
Annie confirmed her split from Walker, whom she met as a teenager and married two years ago, on Wednesday evening
The Manchester City star has not been far from the headlines in recent days after it was revealed that he is the father of Lauryn's five-month-old daughter, with whom he had already fathered a three-year-old son during a relationship with Annie.
The athlete publicly apologized to Annie for his infidelity. His statement sparked an angry response from Lauryn, who claimed in an explosive interview that he was leading a double life with her and their children.
Regarding his breakup with Kilner, Walker wrote on Instagram: Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologize for the trouble I have caused her.
“She has been a part of my life for so long and that will never change for the sake of our children.”
“I ask for privacy for our entire family, and especially our young children, as we navigate these difficult times.”
Goodman, who spoke to Kilner on FaceTime before going public, has since lashed out at the decorated footballer in a revealing interview with The Sun.
She said: “I told Annie I would keep it a secret but after what they did that's impossible now so I have to speak out.”
“In his statement he said 'our' children, not all 'my' children.” They put that out there. Kyle had a chance to include all of his children here, but he didn't.
Kyle brushed aside the uproar surrounding his split from wife Annie Kilner as he attended the event with his eldest son with Annie, Roman, 11 – he had his left hand in his pocket
According to Goodman, the Manchester City star led a double life and paid secret visits to the two illegitimate children he fathered
“He doesn’t think about his children, he thinks about himself.”
She added: “I don't blame myself for their breakup – other women have contacted me and said they were also with Kyle.”
According to Goodman, the footballer led a double life and secretly paid visits to his two illegitimate children.
The married Manchester City full-back has been named as the biological father of TV personality Lauryn Goodman's five-month-old daughter, three years after she gave birth to his son Cairo.
And Goodman says Walker – who already has three children with Kilner – secretly visited her, bought football jerseys for his son and even accompanied her on a trip to a local farm.
She told The Sun: “Kyle was happy to hide the truth because he had two families and was afraid of what would happen if Annie found out, but I kept telling him: 'Our daughter can't be a secret, she is a human.' ''
Kilner confirmed her split from Walker, who she met as a teenager and married just two years ago, on Wednesday evening after kicking the defender out of their £2.4million mansion in Prestbury, Cheshire.
Goodman addresses the split, claiming the embattled mother of three acted after learning the extent of Walker's deception in a FaceTime chat in which she showed Kilner damning photos of Walker with his two children.
She said: “I showed her one of Kyle and Cairo playing football together. “I know he has photos of our children at Manchester City, I've also met him many times since Cairo was born. He met his daughter.'
The footballer even enjoyed a family outing in public with Goodman and the children, who live in Brighton, during one of their visits to rural Cheshire.
She recalled: “I remember going to a farm in Cheshire and he was feeding the animals with Cairo like all the other fathers.”
“But he also tried to control me, so I did what he said.” He used FaceTime a lot. When he was at the World Cup or with England he was constantly sending messages: “Are you free, are you free?”
“However, over time I realized that we were a secret family. And that's what he wanted. I was no secret to his England team-mates – they called when he FaceTimed me.'
Goodman also admits that the personalized jersey Cairo wore in a widely shared social media picture he posted while representing his country at the 2021 European Championships was purchased by Walker.
Revelations that the Manchester City star has fathered a second child with the influencer are the latest blow to his marriage, which has been marred by cheating allegations.
The couple has been together for 13 years and has three children together. According to reports, the WAG could be pregnant with the couple's fourth child. Walker was named the father of Goodman's first child in April 2020.
She has now claimed the footballer was “leading a double life” as he “played” both himself and Kilner by working to “hide the truth” and forcing her to tell his wife herself .
Speaking to The Sun, she explained: “There were hearings surrounding our daughter, paperwork flying around and legal meetings taking place and Annie needed to know the truth before anything became public.”
Goodman explained that she didn't want to cause “any more heartache” or drive the couple apart, but they needed to “live their lives like adults.”
“She kept asking for proof, so I showed her the DNA test, but even then she doubted it was real until I wrote my daughter's name on the paper.”
The model said that Kilner “remained cool and calm” when she was handed the evidence as she “suspected” that Goodman was the father of Lauryn's second child.
Web exclusively revealed that Walker had been secretly meeting the baby daughter he first fathered with Goodman.
Sources said he confessed everything to his wife about meeting his lover and daughter.
Goodman has told her inner circle that she firmly believes she had no intention of destroying his marriage and does not want to be seen as the cause of it.
A friend told Web: “Lauryn never interfered in Kyle's marriage to Annie, even though she knew he had been thrown out by her five months ago.”
They added: “She has never said anything that could destroy their relationship and she has no intention of being with Kyle.” But he is the father of her two children and has to face his responsibilities.
“He has five children and the little girl is his first daughter.” It should be a time for celebration, as it is for most fathers.

“Lauryn just doesn’t know what to do or what will happen next.” It’s not an easy time for her either. But her friends know that she is not a marriage destroyer.
“She is a great mother to her two children and she loves them.” But she has already had her hands full and is coping without the father who is there for her children. The fact that he's famous makes it harder.
“When she published her daughter's initials 'KW', she had no interest in it. There's so much going on in their head that they're trying to cope with and teach the kids on their own. She didn't do anything wrong.'
This comes after Web revealed that friends of Kilner and Walker believe the WAG could be pregnant with the couple's fourth child.
Sources close to the estranged couple said they would be “thrilled” if it was her.
Meanwhile, it was suggested that Kilner could be just two months away from giving birth.
When approached last night, Kilner's representative said an announcement was imminent.
A source told Web: “This is a dream for Annie, she has three boys and she would love to have more.”
“Things haven't been ideal for Annie and Kyle lately, but a baby might be just the thing to put a smile on their faces.”
“They are doing their best to present a united front with everyone experiencing their separation and what comes next.”
“Who knows what that will be, but they need to navigate these waters together as best they can.”
“Both are completely committed to their children.”
Manchester City star Walker broke his silence yesterday after Kilner dumped him and apologized for the “upset” he had caused her.
They announced on Sunday that the couple, who have been together for 13 years and have three children together, were separating and that she would be “taking some time away from Kyle” amid his alleged infidelity.
But now the England defender, who was kicked out of his £2.4million marital home, has spoken out in support of his wife on Instagram, describing her as an “amazing woman”.
In a message to his 4.6 million followers, Walker wrote: “Annie is an amazing woman and I can only apologize for the trouble I have caused her.”
He continued: “I ask for privacy for our entire family and especially our young children as we navigate these difficult times.”
Web can reveal that Walker is desperate to mend his relationship with Kilner, his childhood sweetheart and wife of two years.
However, other sources close to the former Tottenham star say he is “scared” for the future of his marriage.
He and Kilner secretly married in 2021 after a decade together. They have three sons.
